Help me!

[Yokers]

My hen has a swollen rump. The swelling is not in a lump and I cannot feel an egg. Shes not leaking, and has been this way for about 2 months. She has not been laying eggs, trying but not laying. I had a hen with the same problem die last week. I don't think shes egg bound but I don't know what else it could be. Please help me! I cant lose another of my babys!

after 2 mos. she isn't going to heal spontaneously - she needs a vet

my mom says she's "not taking some dumb chicken to the vet and spending hundreds of dollars on her." I was thinking about trying Baytril. I was wondering if any one has been successful using Baytril on internal layers.I'm running out of time.
